Question:

Why am I loosing my bearded dragons eggs?

this is the 3rd time we have had eggs and after 5 days they begin to shrivel up. I put them in the incubator buried 1/2 in vermiculite and place inside thermometer at 75 degrees. What am I doing wrong. Thanks

Answer:

Peat moss, vermiculite, silica gels, compost all are good absorbers of water.
Check what they add into baby diapers, the chemical in that absorbs ALOT of water. I am not sure what they use though. Google it.
hm a sponge, cotton.fine papers,towels
paper towels absorb water due to their cellulose molecule chains.
